Herring poses Priam square and still, a stable hand's grip steady at the headcollar. English judges called him close to the ideal Thoroughbred conformation of his age, and within the year America agreed enough to buy him, shipping him across the Atlantic to stand at stud. The near foreleg, set just off the square — Herring's one small departure from the parade-ground stance, and the whole horse looks more alive for it. Perfection sells; it also emigrates.

Before a size goes on sale, the file is measured against it: pixels per inch at that size, how much of the picture a crop would lose, tone and sharpness. A size that fails is not offered, so there is nothing to choose wrong.
